The GOP in the NC House just passed an "Academic Transparency Bill" that will require all public school teachers to post all of their lesson plans in detail, along with their name, on a special website for parents to see, within ten days of the lesson being given. So no significant pay raise for teachers - especially veteran teachers - but they will divert another $500 million to vouchers and force teachers to do this. And (of course) this law won't apply to NC charter schools. They tried to do this in 2021 and it failed, but this time it may well pass, given that Cooper's vetoes can be overridden.
This is what the bill would require:
▪The names of all instructional and supplemental materials, used with an electronic link to the instructional materials website.
▪ Any other materials used in a course, organized by title, and the author, organization or website associated with each material and activity. This would include materials created by the teacher.
▪ A brief descriptor of the course materials and a link to the materials, if publicly available on the internet, or information on how to request or a copy of the materials.
The bill goes beyond what teachers are saying in their classes.
It would require schools to post online information on each grade- or school-wide presentation, assembly, lecture or other activity or event that happens during school hours outside of a teacher’s classroom. This information would include a list of each presenter by name and organization and any course material used or presented.
Lawmakers also want the public to know how teachers are trained. The bill would require schools to post online a list of teacher and staff training materials used at each school during the current school year.
